The future of Northeast False Creek

The Northeast False Creek Plan sets the long-term vision for the last remaining piece of large undeveloped land in the downtown along False Creek.

The final plan for Northeast False Creek proposes:

A new vibrant waterfront destination with amenities including childcare, social housing, artist space, plazas, an ice rink, and a cultural centre

Opportunities for community and social development, including 1,800 units of social housing

32 acres of new and renewed parks and open space

Replacement of the viaducts with an at-grade street network that will connect Northeast False Creek to the downtown core

What's happening?

City Council approves Northeast False Creek Plan

Council approved the plan with amendments at the February 13 Special Council meeting. However, planning in Northeast False Creek doesn't stop here. In 2018 we’ll complete an implementation report to continue work on the replacement street network, park design, public art plan, and public space framework.

During the planning process we heard from over 17,500 people about the future of Northeast False Creek at more than 90 events over the past 18 months. Thank you to everyone who provided input and spoke to City Council. Based on what we heard, we refined the plan and incorporated elements you told us were a priority.
